Preparation
Muddle the ginger and Cupcake Original vodka in a mixing glass. Add the cider and shake with ice; strain over ice into a rocks glass and top with ginger ale. Garnish with a squeeze from the lime wedge and a green apple slice.

It’s hotter than I don’t know what in New York today, so to help you cool down here’s a drink! I’ve made some slight variations to the original recipe found on the Sweet Carolina website. This is a raspberry iced-tea spiked with goodness. You should really whip one up tonight, I know I will. XOXO

Whoopsie, I’m sorry for the late-day post. But something tells me all will be forgiven, once you see this gem of a recipe I found. My mother always says, if you don’t share, you won’t have any friends. So to please my mother, (and all you alkies out there) here is a recipe that combines an 80s candy, and a classic Martini. Enjoy XOXOXO
